One poster seems to think he does. Oh bugger, I've forgotten my rule ....

What did Adam Wharton do that was unacceptable? Simple question. Simple answer appreciated which may clear the air.

I choose banging my head against a brick wall every time, much less damage.

We had to run with the ball v Huddersfield, they were camped a long way down field.

The basis of tippy tappy at the back is that the keeper is a footballer first and plays like a Beckenbauer who can use his hands at certain times. His job description does not include staying on the goal line. This is why Steele, useless at being a conventional keeper is in the first 11 at Brighton. Neither of ours are that good at being Beckenbauer.

Also if Leicester come down I expect them to be a force again. Their owners business cashflow on the way back quickly post COVID.

I saw the same happen in today's PL games, unpunished even with VAR. Rules are made up as they go along.

Asked who had let O’Brien down, Cooper added: “It wasn’t us, that’s for sure. Even though we've ended up with the problem it wasn’t us. It won’t take a genius to work out what’s happened. I hope some questions are getting asked over there, in Lancashire." plus quite a bit more and he's not wrong.

The good cup run should have given the team a positive vibe and it was management's job to make sure that happened. I think team selections have undermined morale, players aren't all thickos.... Average players for sure, so do Luton Millwall and Coventry who just look more "together" in the fight. Better organised and just more up for it. And then in consecutive January windows failing to spend the funding allegedly available when well positioned in the table. This time GB, plus whomever messed up on D Day, failed JDT.

The Guardian did a good exposé of this nonsense in leagues below the PL trying to use players who are just not skill equipped to do it consistently well. Even in the PL they mess up lots of times.

If we play the same as v Hull and Coventry the same as there most recent game then they will do us, as in give us a right good rogering. However, we are at home so if JDT gets team selection and tactics right there is no reason why we ant get a win. No Gallagher and Morton only if playing 3 in midfield. If Dack is fit he will be on the bench. Adam Wharton must start. Intensity from the start and careful for Coventry on the break.

Yes and thanks for saying it.

I agree with all of that. The passing around at the back is a major reason why Hyam looks poor. He passes to Carter who stops the ball, puts his foot on the top of the ball and then passes back to Hyam, who's wondering what sort sort of pass, speed etc, will he get. Rinse and repeat. Morton and Travis are invariably no shows so the above goes on until it's passed to Pears to boot long or passed long, to nobody usually. Its a hard watch.

I've seen quite a bit of Luton, Millwall and Coventry and whilst there is skill scattered around those teams they are where they are through being teams that give it all for every minute of every game leaving nowt on the pitch. They all have shithousery in their DNA but they do put the effort in. They will all give us a severe testing as will PNE at their Lego stadium.

That's what my youth coach, an ex pro who played for Southport and Tranmere said to me , with a few choice adjectives inserted.

JDT is bigging up his CV, actually I don't fault him for doing so even though it's self serving. But, in this game he fecked up personnel wise and tactically.

"Carter and Hyam had the most passes but out of a combined 211 passes 175 were in their own half" That started from kick off and continued off and on throughout the game. Cowardly football which set the tone for the rest of the players to follow. It must be by instructions so why are JDT and whomever it is who sits by him and looks dead so fecking scared at home to Hull? Pathetic cowards who yesterday did their level best in full open view to sabotage the season. Gallagher is beyond pants ... But he doesn't pick himself. Morton is, what's the word ...., but its those 2 on the bench who pick him.

He gets into the right areas, natural instinct.

Coventry, Luton and Millwall will tear us a new one if we put out a starting team like today. They will destroy us. IF we play like today.

Rubbish and all down to JDT, the smiling pretender

I just shouted that out so loud it woke the wife, not happy at 3.20 am

Dolan, fucking amateur

A conspiracy theory may well be just a truth that some don't like .... Because it's true.. CIA subversion manual

I was just thinking the same. We are now actually trying to throw this game.

Pears made a decent save low down, the sort of shot that causes TK issues. The rest are poor, but, Morton and Gallagher and Diaz for that matter are a class apart, and not in a good way. Carter has been fine, it's his constant stop, backpass that frustrates
